Hi,
My rat has been given anti biotics and anti inflammatories for a possible chest infection. I can't get him to take them. He isn't fooled by hiding them in tasty treats, I can't hold him still for long enough to get it into his mouth. I tried putting some on him to lick off during grooming and that didn't work either. Any suggestions would be amazing, I'm at my wits end and worried his illness will get worse.

I know you said you tried tasty treats but I always use a bread and peanut butter or avocado. If it is tablet form, crush up and mix with peanut butter or avocado or if liquid, squeeze into a small piece of bread (half a fingernail size) and already some peanut butter. The only time it fails is if the medicine is septrin, as the quantity of septrin they need to take is too large. So hopefully, one of these will work.

My current gang Drax, Groot, Star-lord, Yondu To all those who have filled my heart, have fun at the bridge.

Been trying him with custard... He loves it but knows when it's medicated! He's sneezing all the time but the vet said he's otherwise very healthy... No wheezing or anything, lovely coat etc. We're inclined to think he's allergic to his bedding or something so my partner is going to get some different stuff tomorrow to see if that helps.
